Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FMP3 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FMP3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FMP3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMP3 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMP3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use FileMaker, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMP3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FMP3 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FMP3 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
